What lovely thread! We are in the midst of moving five hours away. House farm and cows all on the move. This summer i have to fence our new land and in spare time getmall the quilts, blankets, sheets and misc items for my two new grandaughters being born in the fall….busy timres ahead

Such beautiful colors!!! Summer plans include lots of grandkid time, gardening a short trip with my husband, listening to my favorite baseball team, and of course, as much sewing as I can possibly fit in.

Dixie and her thread remind me of Summers in the South when I was a girl. Our family will be headed to Holden Beach, NC in a few weeks, and I’m looking forward to bathing myself in the ocean and those colors soon.

Love your new fabric line and it doesn’t get any better than aurafill! We just got back from big cedar on table rock lake in southwest Missouri. We are gearing up for a Few days in Chicago with family before heading to new buffalo Michigan for another low key week on the lake. Can’t wait! Thanks for the chance to win.

We like to go salmon fishing on Lake Ontario in August. We are spending lots of time with our granddaughter this month. She loves to sew blocks together so maybe we can actually finish a project! I have lots of tops to quilt so I’d love some Aurafil in your pretty colors!

what pretty pictures, such a wonderful sight this chilly winter evening in Melbourne. My summer plans are firstly to get though winter and to whittle down my project list as much as possible.
I have a new goddaughter arriving at the start of our summer (December) so I have an extensive list of what to make for her – at the top is a quilt.

Love those colors! My summer starts with a trip to the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. A long drive from the Mississippi Delta! My husband and I are looking forward to a NY Yankees vs Cleveland Indians game while there. He graciously stops along the way and back at quilt shops I find on the Row by Row Experience. Needless to say, he’s awesome!

I am hoping to get to the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, NE in July. I was there several years ago and saw the wonderful exhibit of the Grace Synder quilt collection. It was absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to visit again.

Those are fantastic colors, so refreshing on a hot summer day. We live in a place people love to vacation, so our summer travel is pretty limited as we enjoy it here. We did just book a long weekend at a favorite B&B that is only about an hour away. Close enough to be convenient, far enough away to not think about the regular ToDo list.

Oooh, I’d LOOOOVE a set of these pretty colors!! Our summer plans included Girls Camp prep, Girls Camp, and post-Girls Camp — that was this weekend. Can you tell I’m the Stake Camp Director? 😂 Now I think we’re going to have to make some actual plans!

Oh my goodness that thread set is perfect for this yummy fabric! I am fairly new to quilting, but just found Aurifil and I LOVE it!!!! I can’t wait to see your fabric in person! Thank you so much for sharing! I have no plans for the summer, but to learn more quilting skills! 🙂

Gorgeous colors of fabric and thread! We will be going to Montana in August to fish and relax. Then take some time on the way home to see waterfalls and maybe Crater Lake. There’s even a B&B getaway in the midst for my sweetie and I. Looking forward to it! K-

No summer plans until mid-August when we’ll travel from Texas to Michigan to drive with our son back to college. It will be a nice escape from the summer heat and we’ll have a chance to visit with my husband’s family up there!

As a brand new quilter, my summer plans include teaching myself as many techniques as possible and acquiring fabrics and threads. Your Aurifil thread pack would certainly get me off of the white thread I used in my first quilt top! I have just started my second. Can’t wait to see your Dixie fabric at my local shop. I’d love to try that pin cushion. Plus my husband, daughter and I will likely take a quick road trip to Las Vegas (cause it’s nearby and nutty) and to visit friends in Sacramento. Thanks for your aspiring blog.

Beautiful thread and fabric! Pretty quiet summer so far, just a few quick trips to see grandchildren and family. Soon we’ll have a new puppy that will take all of our attention and energy. It’ll be like having kids again!

Gorgeous, bright, cheerful colors!! And Aurifil thread rocks my quilty world. This summer the kids and I are spending some time in Ohio with family while my hubs does Army stuff in Europe. Maybe a trip to Edisto Island, SC later in the summer if our schedules work out.

We are going to Maui. The fun part is that I am a teacher and one of my former students will be there at the same time. I had her 11 years ago and now she is off to college in the fall. One of us is getting older, one of us is all grown up. Thanks for the give away chance!

So beautiful! I love all these colors. I’m a teacher – so my summer plans are to sew a bit every day! Also, I’m heading to NYC for a few days next week to visit my daughter. Thank you for this lovely giveaway.

I love these colors and they will go so well with my stash. Can’t wait to add some Dixie to the mix too! Summer plans include an already taken trip to Disney World with my two-year old granddaughter (so much fun), a wedding in Ohio, and our annual beach week coming up soon. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

😍 love the colors! I need more in my life! We are camping next week at the Oregon Sand Dunes, with my family and friends. There is about 40 of us, camping and ruding quads on the Dunes, it’s our favorite annual trip.

I absolutely adorable these colors AND they are Aurifil!!!❤ summer fun is cooling off in the pool, sewing/quilting and Best of all, meeting up with our son and family in Austin! Can’t wait! None of us have been there, and they are considering a move down there! The live in WA state, and we live in IL. I can’t wait to visit quilt shops even if I can just look and drool! 😉 thanks for this generous and gorgeous giveaway!❤❤❤

Yummy Yummy Yummy…….colors and prints. Hoping to catch up on hand sewing and vegging out when I can as I recover from minor surgery. I live in a vacation area, so we natives tend to stay close to home or parked in our driveway to avoid the traffic. It’s okay — we get to enjoy the sights all the other nine months LOL

My plans for the summer are to quilt as much as possible!!! I have been commissioned to do a test pattern. I can’t believe they would choose me but the did so I hope I do them proud!!!! This thread would be the icing on the cake!!!!! Thank you for the awesome giveaway!

I love the colors in your fabric and in the thread collection. I also love that your plan is to have no plans…that used to be my favorite thing about summer vacation when my kids were growing up. Now, I just enjoy that I can sew all day if I want to. I also like to go see the grandkids.

I’m in my favorite vacation spot right now–the mountains of Western North Carolina! Such a change from my home in Florida! I can’t wait for Dixie to come out! I have Hazel & I love that line! I would LOVE to win your box of Aurifil thread!! It would be great to make a project using your new fabric line AND have the coordinating thread! Yay!🙏❤️😀

Just returned from Colonial Williamsburg, VA. The rest of the summer get-away’s will be spontaneous! Your website is slways so attractive, by the way. And I also appreciate the thread give-away opportunity!

I’ve been reading for blog for awhile and just finished my very first quilt using your strip and flip and binding using the quilt back tutorials. Thank you so much for all the help!! This summer I plan to sew a fun runner for our dining room table and I’ll be going to Sea World for the first time with my fiance. 🙂

Our plan is also to have no plans! My husband and I both have this week off (although it’s supposed to rain) so we are just going to look out the window in the morning and then decide where we are taking our 2 year old that day. So far it’s been lots of time at the park but we are also hoping for a nice day to go to the lake. This week is also my birthday so we get to spend time with friends. If your coming to Vancouver you should try the newer sea to Sky gondola in Squamish. We haven’t done it yet but it’s on our list. Friends that have done it loved it!

Have never tried aurifil thread – would appreciate the opportunity. I’m a Longarm quilter and take the month of July off for quilting retreats and sew-ins with my guild. It’s my time to get personal projects done. My birthday is in July and each year I make a “birthday quilt”. This year it’s a fussy cut beach umbrella fabric made into kaleidoscope lemoyne stars. I dearly love summer and this thread collection just speaks of summer fun – especially with the matching fabric 😎

Dixie is a beautiful line…
plans for the summer is just to survive:) 5 kids under the age of 7 and a dad that is deployed. Living in the heat of texas, we are hoping to have time pass quickly for him to come home and to not melt in the meantime:)

Hoping here on Amelia Island you would come visit us (and bring that beautiful thread). You could stay at the Ritz Carlton and if you’d like, we could see in my studio. I would make sangria, shrimp ragout, and bread pudding.

big summer plans: two week Baltic cruise, #2 son getting married on the West coast, flying back for an East coast reception a week later for all those who couldn’t make the trip ~ I’ll be ready to quilt after all that!!

I’m really looking forward to the release of Dixie! Loved Hazel (still have my FQB). We are flying to Las Vegas this Thursdayto visit my sons and their families, including my six wonderful grandchildren!! So looking forward to that! Thanks

What a gorgeous collection!!! I would LOVE to play with those beauties! 💕💕 I’m with you- our big summer plans are NO PLANS!! The kids have a couple camps, but I’m just finishing up a long neglected quilt and trying to decide which one to start next. Thanks so much for a chance to win those beautiful spools!!! 👍

Oh my goodness those fabrics and threads are gorgeous!!! Nice work!!! I love the small scale prints! My family and I are headed to Battle Lake, MN for a week at the end of the month, and then I am taking my oldest son (who will be 15 August 13) to Florida on a plane and everything in August. It will be his first time out of the Midwest and on a plane! We are so excited!!!

No huge plans this summer… my boyfriend has some family visiting from England in August, that will be the most exciting event! Other than that, planning a day or two to go to the beach and relax.
Gorgeous thread collection! (& fabric to match!)

A wonderful giveaway. Aurifil colors are so pretty and sew good too. Only summer trip is to attend my granddaughter’s Bible Quizzing National Finals. Her team won first place in the Texas district and now onward to the national finals. Her aunt made the most profound statement I’ve heard in a while. A minute in God’s Word is a minute in the very presence of God! Can’t get better than that!

No travel plans as yet because we are expecting a new Grandbaby at the end of August but will probably head to Florida or Alabama towards the end of the year. I’m also very excited to be getting my very own ‘New Baby’ – a Bernina 770 – sqeeeeeeeel !

Summer plans include a week at the county fair (my daughter will be showing turkeys, ducks and a feeder calf!). Hopefully, some camping and canoeing to follow that! Love Aurifil thread and those colors are gorgeous.

Those are some of my favorite colors!! I’ve been waiting for Dixie to come out: I’ve got a few quilt patterns that I’ve designed and I’d love to make them with Dixie, and that Varigated blue would be a perfect color to quilt it in! And no big summer plans: my hubby is super busy with his business this time of year, so we don’t go anywhere till October. But sewing will certainly be on my list! 🙂

Beautiful threads and I love your fabric collection “Dixie”, especially the large floral – swoon! We have a farm so unfortunately we don’t really get to do vacations. I am a homebody anyway :)! Thanks for the chance to win!

Oh, how exciting! Love those fresh colors. And love to sew with Aurifil threads. Thanks for the chance to win. My summer plans are sewing and spending time with my grandson.
Greetings from Stuttgart,Germany

Though it’s winter here in Sydney (and it’s actually not too cold), Summer is the season I love the most…gardening, going to the beach, eating watermelon…your beautiful thread pack really takes me there now…incredible!

Enjoyed reading all the comments. Travel, relaxing and sewing seems to be the theme. We took a trip of a lifetime for us last year to the Grand Canyon ….we live on the east coast. So this year going to enjoy some day trips with our 2 year old grandson and seeing for our fall craft fairs. Those threads would be greatly appreciated and enjoyed.

Whoa! Beautiful thread! Now that I’m quilting every weekend and most evenings, I sure am using a lot of that stuff! 🙂 Here’s hoping for many more hours of sewing indoors, out of the Georgia heat, this summer. Thanks for the chance!

Learning to quilt and my first top is almost sewn as I write, now I’ve got to try and quilt it eek!! I’ve booked a sewing course in the summer break – some me time! Then family time in Cornwall, UK, on the coast, it’s beautiful. So enjoy your blog, I’ve been a ‘lurker’ for a while and learned so much, thank you. Love your thread colours, luminous, match your fabrics beautifully. Best wishes.

My “fun” summer plans are to build a shelter for my old mare and mini horse from pallets so they can be out of the cold this winter. I am saving up the pallets for it right now. I have 24 pallets and need probably around 50! I know that has nothing to do with sewing or thread at all, but my further plan is to relax after a day of building, with an evening of sewing!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some pretty eye candy!

I really like your Dixie fabric and am practically drooling over the bundle paired with yummy Aurifil threads!
Later this summer I’m going to WA state to visit my son & his family-YAY! Just before Labor Day, we’ll be going to Lake Tahoe to visit with my step-son & his family. In the interim, I hope & pray I can finish 2 quilt I started l-a-s-t year!

Gorgeous fabrics and beautiful colours! I don’t have summer plans yet, but am going to Ontario in September for a family wedding. I’m not too far from Vancouver, so I could take personal delivery if I win ;o) – ha-ha!

Beautiful fabrics and beautiful thread. I haven’t quilted in over 30 years. Just starting to get back into it. Amazed at all the new products available.
Can’t wait to get going again. Only vacation we have planned is a trip to Crater Lake.

Thanks for the opportunity. Our one exciting summer plan is to spend a week in a small cabin at a large lake in New Hampshire, where we can spend most of our days playing on a quiet sandy beach and listening to loons call.

I have just started using aurifill threads and love them. These colours are gorgeous. Would love to win them :-). It’s winter school holidays here in Australia so we are busy crafting and sewing and rugging up for trips to the beach for fresh air. Thank you for your generous giveaway.

Beautiful thread what a great inspiration to do even more projects. Easy plans, camping trips to the mountains locally and maybe a trip in the fall to visit family. Of course we will include our 14 month old grandson, what a gift he has been to our family. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

So beautiful – the thread AND the fabric! Headed to NY for family reunion soon. Then later this summer seeing friends in Rehoboth, DE, Norfolk, VA, Chapel Hill, NC and Charleston, SC on our way to Hilton Head. Moving end of summer so we are able to travel in transit!!

Wait a second, Aurifil has variegated colors? How did I not know this? No immediate summer plans, as I start a new job next week. I am spending a week in Napa in November after running a relay race, and am really looking forward to it.

We have no plans for the summer as my husband works all summer, but we relatives from CA coming to us. After they leave, I will lots more time for sewing and the colors in the collection would be great inspiration for some projects.

This thread looks amazing. Love the colors. No big plans for our summer. Maybe a day trip here or their. Seems like we have more fun on little unexpected trips than if we plan a big elaborate trip. Thanks for the great giveaway.

these are gorgeous! I would be counting myself lucky to win such a collection of yum! This summer our children used their 2 years saved newspaper route money to buy themselves an above ground pool! It has been all that and a bag of chips, I tell ya’! They are wet more often than dry–such fun!

love those colors, We have an extended family picnic on the 15th. Last count we have 82 people planning to show up! We do this every other year, it is a great way to stay in touch with family. Thanks for the chance to win this giveaway

Hi, both thread and fabric are really beautiful. I’m quite new to quilting so I would like to build my stash. Plans for the Summer? I do not really know already if the sun comes to us in Germany maybe I will enjoy a day at the beach anywhere otherwise I will enjoy that I don’t have to do anything. And of course I will sew.

Congrats on the new collection and the collaboration! They are vibrant and refreshin. I’m super excited about getting my laminate floors installed next month… AND I’m making plans to go to my first Quiltcon in February! Pick me, pick me, pick me…Hahaha. Thanks for the chance to win!

I WILL SEW THIS WEEKEND …. there, i said it … i will sew this weekend … been trying for weeks now and *something* always gets in the way — not this time … geranium dresses for granddaughter and friend’s daughter … i love your new like, dixie and the thread colors rock …

So envious of our northern hemisphere friends although our winters are not really that brutal and ought not be complaining…..upside down dreaming of summer and being warm again (what beautiful colours these are!)

I love the new colors in Dixie! I’m always drawn to bright colors, and Dixie is no exception. I’m not doing much this summer except trying to stay cool (as electricity rates go up here in San Diego), like so many others.

Love the beautiful colors. They just make me want to start sewing. But I need to finish my current projects that are staring at me. I am in the middle of making stockings for the family. Summer plans…staying cool and inside in this crazy Arizona hot summer. Looking forward to camping trips up north where the kids can actually play all day outside and not get heat stroke!!

Love your new Dixie collection and love Aurifil. The colors are devine. Our summer plans center around our GrandGirl, Matilda, coming with her mom and dad for a long visit from Berlin, Germany. Other than weekly Skype chats we haven’t seen our daughter and her family since last Christmas. I’m learning to make toddler clothes and would love to make some from your fabric collection. Thanx fir the chance to win such a gorgeous prize. 😀

Your thread colors are gorgeous! I’m a few weeks behind you, Allison – we just had our baby #4 – our first boy, though! Our summer plan is just staying home with him until we venture back home to Olympia to visit family & friends in August. Cheers to a baby-filled summer!

I’m going to visit my family in Denmark for almost four weeks in August. I immigrated from there when I was nineteen, 39 years ago, leaving my birth-family behind. I’m very fortunate that I get to visit them almost every summer. As I always do, I’ll be bringing a major hand-piecing project, and I usually get a lot done.

No plans to go away but planning to have one of my grands come spend a wk with of us doing lots of cooking & baking together & enjoying our horses,cows & dogs. The thread collection is as pretty as your fabric collections! Thank you for the opportunity to win the thread collection!

First I have to say the threads colors are scrumptious!! Just love them all. As for summer plans, we hope to head tonorthern New Mexico to escape some of the heat and see parts we have been too…hopefully Taos for a few days. Enjoy the summer fun!

I love the colors in your fabric line, Dixie. I will be sure to watch for it in our local quilt shops. The Aurifil thread colors match perfectly and are so pretty. Love using Aurifil for my piecing and quilting. No “fun” plans for this summer. We are getting our house in Cleveland ready to sell. After my husband retired and we moved to a new house, our oIdest daughter, Kim, lived there until she passed away. It’s a lot of work – painting, pulling up carpet, replacing the old carpet in the family room with a floating wood floor, updating light fixtures, etc., etc…… We are getting help from family members, for which we are very thankful. Enjoy your summer.

Those colors are delectable! I will look for Dixie as those fabrics make me want to make little quilts for friends to share their vibrant colors. They remind me of summers spent lying on the grass staring up at the clouds, swimming in the creek, and eating outside at the picnic table. This summer I want to find a new job! I will find some time to sew, too. Thanks!

As always, your new collection is stunning, and Pow Wow was the first pattern bought at the start of my quilting journey a few years ago! It’s next on the list for my 4 year old grandson – fabrics pulled! We live here in UK – big family reunion holiday planned visiting son and family in Brisbane with our 2 daughters and families. Cousin mayhem with 6 kids and 2 cats expected:)))

This summer I am finishing the alterations on bridesmaids gowns for our son’s wedding. He and his fiancé will be married in August. This will make five of our children married, one more to go! Then I will begin making baby quilts, as we have three grand babies due to arrive in the next seven months! Life is good! Your fabrics are beautiful.

Summer is a long way away here in oz, cold dreary days here in Melbourne Victoria Australia.Great however for sewing and snuggling up under quilts while you sew binding on. We do plan to take a week in August in North Queensland where you can still swim in winter and have a weekend exploring the city I currently call home.

We left California on June 24th pulling our boat across Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, to Texas. I wrote all about our trip on Facebook, but did not begin till 2 days after leaving. We sure surprised our daughter and grandchildren! I even recorded a video of the door opening and my daughter crying!! We are staying for two birthdays and will then drive back to CA, but without the boat. We are having fun but we don’t like the humidity here is n Texas. Love your threads!

Lovely colours and a perfect match for your beautiful fabric. Apart from going to Sweden this summer to see two of our beautiful grandchildren, I shall be making 2 baby quilts for my niece and her husband and nephew and his partner, both of whom are having babies in the Autumn. One is a much waited for IVF baby. My sister is over the moon and as she can’t sew anymore because of severe arthritis, I am only too pleased to have the opportunity to make more quilts! Have a good summer everybody. Jane, Edinburgh, UK.

We’re heading to Cali to the beach. Then I have a Row by Row Experience quilt to begin/finish. I am having a hard time trying to figure out a color scheme in making the rows have a cohesive look. Have you ever made one of these quilts before? If so, I would gladly welcome any tips. Happy Wed!

Love the colours in your Dixie line & the matching Aurifil threads are just darling! I live in Australia & am in the middle of a (relatively) cold winter, so I’m currently dreaming of warmer weather & summer adventures later in the year. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!

Yummy colors! I love the name of your new fabric line since I am from the Heart of Dixie…Alabama! Our grandchildren visited us last month. We had fun at the beach, neighborhood fishing and our annual bowling tournament. Working on home renovations during July. Not sure about August!

Beautiful color combination, thanks for the chance to win this generous offering. I have promised to devote this summer into finishing All my Christmas wall hanging and various Christmas themed quilts.

What lovely colours.
I would love to say my summer plans were not to do anything but I have 5 weeks of summer before I got back on ship and 3 of those I am away sailing. I need to try and finish the cardigan im knitting during that time.

We have a couple of beach trips coming up—one is my husband’s work conference, the other is just fun. Really looking forward to these as we’ve had a really busy spring/early summer prepping for a wedding in our sunflower field. I love Dixie—reminds me a bit of Hazel and looks like they will go nicely together. I have a good bit of Hazel….need to get some Dixie to mix in!!

Love the colors and Dixie fabrics! Summer started early for me. We have vacationed for a week in June with my Albuquerque DD, SIL and DGC in the Colorado mountains. We returned home to Massachusetts only to pack up and then do a road trip to Alabama to visit DSand DIL. At the end on the week we meander toward home stopping to visit DD and SIL in New Jersey. I can’t wait to get back to my sewing room!

Summer mornings in SW FL are so tropically delicious! I love getting out to hear all the birds singing, smelling the sweet morning scents and going for a quick walk. I get a lot of inspiration then.
Wow, great match of the Aurifil to your fabric line! Love the colors and your fabric is SO fun! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great package. I’ll have my fingers crossed.
I also enjoy hearing what everyone else is doing for summer. 🙂

Beautiful shades! Especially that aqua variegated one. Love Aurifil thread your new Dixie line as well. Not much planned here either. Going to Florida for a surprise 60th birthday celebration and then going to the Country Living Fair in Ohio for a long weekend. Love that and always find too much to buy there. Happy summer!

Those colors are the best and, somehow, I don’t have one of them so would love to win this!!!
We have just returned from a week at the beach (or soundside in our case) and look forward to going again at the end of season. In the meantime, I plan to sew (QAL’s, samplers, a bit of collage, pouches) and sew and sew- well, you get it! Thanks for the chance.

The aurifil thread colors are prettier than a rainbow!!! I need to make an “I SPY” quilt for a precious little great-niece and great nephew to share! Can’t wait to get started before summer is OVER!! Thank you for the opportunity to maybe win!

A once a year trip with girlfriends to the Chicago area for s stitch retreat which also includes shop til you drop at quilting and cross stitch stores. We are from Ohio, Indiana, Arizona and Illinois. Two weeks away! Love all the aqua colors in this thread set, my favorite color.

They do remind me of Saltwater Taffy, too. Such vibrant, beautiful colors and they compliment he fabrics so well. No major summer plans, more sewing and making lists of sewing fabrics and thread I want to get (hint, hint 😉 Thanks for sharing with us.

These are beautiful! We are hosting college friends of our oldest & touring colleges with our youngest….a few sewing days tucked in as time permits. Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful collection.

the thread set colours are beautiful !! I’ma gonna need some too, to go with your fabrics when they come out ! We will be hosting friends and family all summer long on our farm – people come to us since we live in the country ! Right now our agriculture intern from 5 years ago is visiting from his home in France – it’s like one of my children has come home :))) Thanks for the chance to win !
Colleen @ farmersfeedfamilies@gmail.com

Whoo Hooo!! Love the thread.
I plan to go to the Iowa State Fair in August. This is a yearly trip with the highlight being the Fabric and Threads exhibit. Especially the quilts.
So much talent and inspiration.

I made my first quilt two years ago, then in 2015 we spent the year in Durham NC where my husband had a lung transplant . We are back home in Tennessee and I’m so looking forward to spending time in my sewing room . I love bright happy colors and would love to have this collection of thread.

Gorgeous threads! We just finished one cousins camp with 5 grandchildren (3 who are nine and 2 who are 7) and getting ready for another with two are 5! There are two more who are still too small! Whew!

I LOVE your new fabric line! DH and I are going to a B@B for 5 nights on a private island on Battle Lake Mn with canoes and kayaks and paddle boards and wonderful swimming in a clean clear lake. Then we’ll stop at a few quilt shops for the Quilt MN Shop Hop and do some golfing on the way home.

Those colors are absolutely yummy! Our big plans this summer is my niece’s wedding ❤️ So excited for this, especially because my kids are coming home for it so it will be once of those rare occasions that everyone is in the same place at the same time!

Such beautiful threads to match your gorgeous fabric line! So excited to get my hands on some Dixie!! We plan on flying out to the Grand Canyon late this summer. We’re going to visit Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. So excited because I’ve never been there before! Hope you enjoy your summer! Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!:)

No major summer plans as we are saving for our BIG Thanksgiving week trip to New York to watch my son and his Greendale High School Marching Band (WI) march in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!! One of 8 high schools in the country chosen this year. Watch for their performance of Step In Time in front of Macy’s along the parade route. A once in a lifetime trip for sure ;c) Thanks for the chance to win those beautiful threads. I don’t have much in the way of colored threads so this would be a great start! shopgirl7232 at yahoo dot com

These thread colors are so versatile, and are perfect with the Dixie fabrics! Your new line is so bright and cheerful!
I’m planning a week in Virginia Beach before school starts with my kids and grandkids.

I do have a plan to visit my son, his wife, AND my granddaughter this month in Dallas! Besides that I am spending lots of time in my workshop; sewing and lesson planning for my 6 students to whom I teach sewing and crafts. I love love love working with Aurifil but it is hard for me to find where I live. These colors with your fabric are calling my name…thanks for the giveaway.

I think everyone’s plans are better than mine–foot reconstructive surgery on the 21st(big ouch) However, getting stuff together and working on quilts for Hospice so these threads would be great(your fabric line is greater and what a match!)

Beautiful fabric and thread! My big, fun summer plans have already come and gone. The rest of my summer will be spent on some serious quilt making – which will be a lot of fun too!. Other than that, Hubs and I may try to sneak off for a beach weekend later in the summer.

Beautiful colors! I just finished making a “To the Point” throw quilt for a friend, and I love it! Thank you for the excellent pattern plus the finishing ideas here on your blog!
We’re heading to the mountains of North Carolina with our youngest four children for a few days. We’ll be doing some whitewater rafting and hiking!

Our son got married in June to a wonderful young woman. Three days later, another son graduated from the Fire Academy and won the Most Valuable Cadet award. Joyful celebrations for our family. Love the colors of these fabrics and thread- happy colors! thanks for the chance!

I love the colors of the thread and fabric! This summer I am having a great time teaching young (and some not so young) girls to sew! I love to pass this skill on and am doubly blessed because a couple of these girls are my cousin’s granddaughters!!!

We attend an annual Steam Engine and Tractor Show in Edgar Wisconsin every year…last year we ended up going two days in a row because there is so much to see. Besides the show they have a huge flea market..found an old singer in a beautiful little cabinet for $10.00…

WOW ! Love the fabrics and thread colors. How exciting to have them match perfectly. We have no further summer plans. Just to stay cool. Then, a nice fall trip to Santa Fe, NM. Thanks for offering this great give away ! Love everything you do.

We’ve been following grandsons’ baseball and summer basketball games. Maybe a trip later in the summer or early fall. Thanks for the opportunity to win some gorgeous threads. I am a new convert to aurifil threads. This would expand my selection. No one near me carries this thread and it’s hard to choose colors online.

My daughter and family just named their puppy Dixie. Our summer plans were…we just got home from Alaska late last night. Visiting our son and his family. No other plans, unless a quit couple days at the beach.

Our summer fun has already happened. Both families came up for their last visit “north”. We have the house up for sale and are packing and sorting for a move in early fall. Sad time for us but beautiful memories.

Those colors are beautiful!! Our only summer plans are to go to our farm about an hour away every opportunity we have & we are going to plan a trip to Branson for a few days soon before our daughter goes back to school!

Those thread colors are so beautiful together. Why not travel to Victoria? The ferry ride is so fun for kids. Lots of splash pads for little ones, hikes, lakes. Of course, Vancouver is beautiful too. You can’t go wrong in BC.

LOVE these fabrics and of course, Aurifil threads are the best and the only thread to use and these colours are fabulous. I am back and forth to Vancouver Island because of family and aging parents but love ‘going home’ to Victoria. We winter in Arizona so am quite content to be here at home in the Pacific Northwest.

Love your fabrics. The threads are perfectly matched to your fabric! Beautiful.!! My summer plans are spending time with our grandchildren, quilting, and sewing, putting up pickles from the garden.
(Sorry if it posted twice, I had problems with the post disappearing from my screen before I could post reply..)

I am swooning over those colors! They are so pretty that they can’t be hidden in a drawer, they need to be displayed on my shelf so that the sweet colors can be my eye candy.
Our plans include camping and local kid friendly destinations.

I am loving your fabric and thread choices, thinking I need
to start adding more than a few to my collection!!
We are planning a trip to Hood Canal in August. Looking forward to fresh oysters and lots of water time!

Sure love the fabric collection & the beautiful threads to match.
Planning on being able to see all 6 of my children & their families (12 adults & 15 grand kids + me & my husband) this weekend for a reunion in San Diego! 14 kids 9 & under make for lots of fun memories. It’s so fun seeing the grand kids reunite.
Also looking forward to a quilt retreat in orlando, fl next month with friends who are spread out all over the states. Trying to decide on projects to bring!

Allison, I love your fabric designs because the colors make me so happy!
Our summer is filled with around-the-house “chores”: quilting, feeding the deer, quilting, gardening, quilting, playing with the cats. Did I mention quilting???

My summer plans is to attend as many baseball games of grandson and softball for granddaughter as possible. Our baseball team is hoping to go to State again this year- last year was the first time! I am also quilting up UFO when I get a few free minutes.

My plans are getting prepared for my daughters wedding in early September. I am making burlap table runners with lace accents and many other items to save money and just because I love to do it. It’s a country wedding by a pond and the reception in a barn. I am so excited and a bit nervous that we aren’t forgetting anything. Love the new fabrics and thread!!!! Your baby is beautiful! Congrats!

Love your Aurifil thread collection! We are planning to go to a Bible Conference next week. Then we do not have any real set plans, except to take out our 1960 MGA that my husband restored and check out the countryside. Always new places and roads to find.

I love the color palette you chose, and that cute dot pattern might just be my favorite ever! We crammed all of our summer plans in the first 6 weeks because I started a new job this week so if I were the lucky winner, I might not feel so bad that I’m missing out on all the fun! 😉

Oh, those colors!!!! When I look at my stash I would say they fit right in 🙂 Love the Dixie fabric line.
Just came back from 3 weeks wonderful vacation with my son, so no actual plans for the rest of the summer

We have a staycation planned this summer. This week we have grandchildren staying with us from different families. The cousins are having a great time together. I go back to work next week but on Saturday I will be headed to The Sisters outdoor quilt show. Our daughter has a quilt hanging there this year. What I am suppose to be doing this week is going thru stuff and downsizing. We have not moved in over 40 years and would like to clear stuff out so when the time comes it will be easier – however playing with the grandkids is more fun.

I would say this beautiful thread and fabric is hugely popular judging by how many responses there are here – wow!! I am also just staying home this summer with a few weekends at Six Flags to play. Stitching and learning about stitching – pure heaven!! Have a terrific summer everyone!!
